WHAT THIS IS
============
The Gitea client is the API foundation that every orchestration
module depends on — graph_store.py, knowledge_ingester.py, the
playbook engine, and tasks.py in timmy-home.
Until now it was 60 lines and 3 methods (get_file, create_file,
update_file). This made every orchestration module hand-roll its
own urllib calls with no retry, no pagination, and no error
handling.
WHAT CHANGED
============
Expanded from 60 → 519 lines. Still zero dependencies (pure stdlib).
File operations: get_file, create_file, update_file (unchanged API)
Issues: list, get, create, comment, find_unassigned
Pull Requests: list, get, create, review, get_diff
Branches: create, delete
Labels: list, add_to_issue
Notifications: list, mark_read
Repository: get_repo, list_org_repos
RELIABILITY
===========
- Retry with random jitter on 429/5xx (same pattern as SessionDB)
- Automatic pagination across multi-page results
- Defensive None handling on assignees/labels (audit bug fix)
- GiteaError exception with status_code/url attributes
- Token loading from ~/.timmy/gemini_gitea_token or env vars
WHAT IT FIXES
=============
- tasks.py crashed with TypeError when iterating None assignees
on issues created without setting one (Gitea returns null).
find_unassigned_issues() now uses 'or []' on the assignees
field, matching the same defensive pattern used in SessionDB.
- No module provided issue commenting, PR reviewing, branch
management, or label operations — the playbook engine could
describe these operations but not execute them.
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
======================
The three original methods (get_file, create_file, update_file)
maintain identical signatures. graph_store.py and
knowledge_ingester.py import and call them without changes.
TESTS
=====
27 new tests — all pass:
- Core HTTP (5): auth, params, body encoding, None filtering
- Retry (5): 429, 502, 503, non-retryable 404, max exhaustion
- Pagination (3): single page, multi-page, max_items
- Issues (4): list, comment, None assignees, label exclusion
- Pull requests (2): create, review
- Backward compat (4): signatures, constructor env fallback
- Token config (2): missing file, valid file
- Error handling (2): attributes, exception hierarchy

1. matrix voice: _on_room_message_media unconditionally overwrote
media_urls with the image cache path (always None for non-images),
wiping the locally-cached voice path. Now only overrides when
cached_path is truthy.
2. cli_tools_command: /tools disable no longer prompts for confirmation
(input() removed in earlier commit to fix TUI hang), but tests still
expected the old Y/N prompt flow. Updated tests to match current
behavior (direct apply + session reset).
3. slack app_mention: connect() was refactored for multi-workspace
(creates AsyncWebClient per token), but test only mocked the old
self._app.client path. Added AsyncWebClient and acquire_scoped_lock
mocks.
4. website_policy: module-level _cached_policy from earlier tests caused
fast-path return of None. Added invalidate_cache() before assertion.
5. codex 401 refresh: already passing on current main (fixed by
intervening commit).
Skills with scripts/, templates/, and references/ subdirectories need
those files available inside sandboxed execution environments. Previously
the skills directory was missing entirely from remote backends.
Live sync — files stay current as credentials refresh and skills update:
- Docker/Singularity: bind mounts are inherently live (host changes
visible immediately)
- Modal: _sync_files() runs before each command with mtime+size caching,
pushing only changed credential and skill files (~13μs no-op overhead)
- SSH: rsync --safe-links before each command (naturally incremental)
- Daytona: _upload_if_changed() with mtime+size caching before each command
Security — symlink filtering:
- Docker/Singularity: sanitized temp copy when symlinks detected
- Modal/Daytona: iter_skills_files() skips symlinks
- SSH: rsync --safe-links skips symlinks pointing outside source tree
- Temp dir cleanup via atexit + reuse across calls
Non-root user support:
- SSH: detects remote home via echo $HOME, syncs to $HOME/.hermes/
- Daytona: detects sandbox home before sync, uploads to $HOME/.hermes/
- Docker/Modal/Singularity: run as root, /root/.hermes/ is correct
Also:
- credential_files.py: fix name/path key fallback in required_credential_files
- Singularity, SSH, Daytona: gained credential file support
- 14 tests covering symlink filtering, name/path fallback, iter_skills_files
* feat(matrix): support native voice messages

Adds lifecycle hooks to the base platform adapter so Discord (and future
platforms) can react to message processing events:
👀 when processing starts
✅ on successful completion (delivery confirmed)
❌ on failure, error, or cancellation
Implementation:
- base.py: on_processing_start/on_processing_complete hooks with
_run_processing_hook error isolation wrapper; delivery tracking
via _record_delivery closure for accurate success detection
- discord.py: _add_reaction/_remove_reaction helpers + hook overrides
- Tests for base hook lifecycle and Discord-specific reactions

The ./hermes convenience script still used the legacy Fire-based
cli.main wrapper, which doesn't support subcommands (gateway, cron,
doctor, etc.). The installed 'hermes' command already uses
hermes_cli.main:main (argparse) — this aligns the launcher.

Adds Discord-style mention gating for Telegram groups:
- telegram.require_mention: gate group messages (default: false)
- telegram.mention_patterns: regex wake-word triggers
- telegram.free_response_chats: bypass gating for specific chats
When require_mention is enabled, group messages are accepted only for:
- slash commands
- replies to the bot
- @botusername mentions
- regex wake-word pattern matches
DMs remain unrestricted. @mention text is stripped before passing to
the agent. Invalid regex patterns are ignored with a warning.
Config bridges follow the existing Discord pattern (yaml → env vars).
Cherry-picked and adapted from PR #1977 by mcleay. Fixed ChatType
comparison to work without python-telegram-bot installed (uses string
matching instead of enum, consistent with other entity_type checks).

Setup previously only printed a manual install hint for matrix-nio,
causing the gateway to crash with 'matrix-nio not installed' after
configuring Matrix. Now auto-installs matrix-nio (or matrix-nio[e2e]
when E2EE is enabled) using the same uv-first/pip-fallback pattern
as Daytona and Modal backends.
Also adds hermes-agent[matrix] to the [all] extra in pyproject.toml
and a regression test to keep it there.

Adds WeCom as a gateway platform adapter using the AI Bot WebSocket
gateway for real-time bidirectional communication. No public endpoint
or new pip dependencies needed (uses existing aiohttp + httpx).
Features:
- WebSocket persistent connection with auto-reconnect (exponential backoff)
- DM and group messaging with configurable access policies
- Media upload/download with AES decryption for encrypted attachments
- Markdown rendering, quote context preservation
- Proactive + passive reply message modes
- Chunked media upload pipeline (512KB chunks)
Cherry-picked from PR #1898 by EvilRan with:
- Moved to current main (PR was 300 commits behind)
- Skipped base.py regressions (reply_to additions are good but belong
in a separate PR since they affect all platforms)
- Fixed test assertions to match current base class send() signature
(reply_to=None kwarg now explicit)
- All 16 integration points added surgically to current main
- No new pip dependencies (aiohttp + httpx already installed)
Fixes#1898

Cron jobs configured with deliver labels from send_message(action='list')
like 'whatsapp:Alice (dm)' passed the label as a literal chat_id.
WhatsApp bridge failed with jidDecode error since 'Alice (dm)' isn't
a valid JID.
Now _resolve_delivery_target() strips display suffixes like ' (dm)' and
resolves human-friendly names via the channel directory before using
them. Raw IDs pass through unchanged when the directory has no match.
Fixes#1945.
Previously, when no API keys or provider credentials were found, Hermes
silently defaulted to OpenRouter + Claude Opus. This caused confusion
when users configured local servers (LM Studio, Ollama, etc.) with a
typo or unrecognized provider name — the system would silently route to
OpenRouter instead of telling them something was wrong.
Changes:
- resolve_provider() now raises AuthError when no credentials are found
instead of returning 'openrouter' as a silent fallback
- Added local server aliases: lmstudio, ollama, vllm, llamacpp → custom
- Removed hardcoded 'anthropic/claude-opus-4.6' fallback from gateway
and cron scheduler (they read from config.yaml instead)
- Updated cli-config.yaml.example with complete provider documentation
including all supported providers, aliases, and local server setup
Local inference servers (Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, LM Studio) don't
require API keys, but the auxiliary client's _resolve_custom_runtime()
rejected endpoints with empty keys — causing the auto-detection chain
to skip the user's local server entirely. This broke compression,
summarization, and memory flush for users running local models without
an OpenRouter/cloud API key.
The main CLI already had this fix (PR #2556, 'no-key-required'
placeholder), but the auxiliary client's resolution path was missed.
Two fixes:
- _resolve_custom_runtime(): use 'no-key-required' placeholder instead
of returning None when base_url is present but key is empty
- resolve_provider_client() custom branch: same placeholder fallback
for explicit_base_url without explicit_api_key
Updates 2 tests that expected the old (broken) behavior.
Three safety gaps in vision_analyze_tool:
1. Local files accepted without checking if they're actually images —
a renamed text file would get base64-encoded and sent to the model.
Now validates magic bytes (PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, WebP, SVG).
2. No website policy enforcement on image URLs — blocked domains could
be fetched via the vision tool. Now checks before download.
3. No redirect check — if an allowed URL redirected to a blocked domain,
the download would proceed. Now re-checks the final URL.
Fixed one test that needed _validate_image_url mocked to bypass DNS
resolution on the fake blocked.test domain (is_safe_url does DNS
checks that were added after the original PR).

Validate category names in _create_skill() before using them as
filesystem path segments. Previously, categories like '../escape' or
'/tmp/pwned' could write skill files outside ~/.hermes/skills/.
Adds _validate_category() that rejects slashes, backslashes, absolute
paths, and non-alphanumeric characters (reuses existing VALID_NAME_RE).
Tests: 5 new tests for traversal, absolute paths, and valid categories.
Salvaged from PR #1939 by Gutslabs.
test_hooks.py (7 failures): Built-in boot-md hook was always loaded
by _register_builtin_hooks(), adding +1 to every expected hook count.
Mock out built-in registration in TestDiscoverAndLoad so tests isolate
user-hook discovery logic.
test_tool_token_estimation.py (2 failures): tiktoken is not in
core/[all] dependencies. The estimation function gracefully returns {}
when tiktoken is missing, but tests expected non-empty results. Added
skipif markers for tests that need tiktoken.
test_plugins_cmd.py (1 failure): bare 'hermes plugins' now dispatches
to cmd_toggle() (interactive curses UI) instead of cmd_list(). Updated
test to match the new behavior.
WhatsApp DMs can arrive with LID sender IDs even when
WHATSAPP_ALLOWED_USERS is configured with phone numbers. The allowlist
check now reads bridge session mapping files (lid-mapping-*.json) to
resolve phone↔LID aliases, matching users regardless of which
identifier format the message uses.
Both the Python gateway (_is_user_authorized) and the Node bridge
(allowlist.js) now share the same mapping-file-based resolution logic.

Adds Feishu (ByteDance's enterprise messaging platform) as a gateway
platform adapter with full feature parity: WebSocket + webhook transports,
message batching, dedup, rate limiting, rich post/card content parsing,
media handling (images/audio/files/video), group @mention gating,
reaction routing, and interactive card button support.
Cherry-picked from PR #1793 by penwyp with:
- Moved to current main (PR was 458 commits behind)
- Fixed _send_with_retry shadowing BasePlatformAdapter method (renamed to
_feishu_send_with_retry to avoid signature mismatch crash)
- Fixed import structure: aiohttp/websockets imported independently of
lark_oapi so they remain available when SDK is missing
- Fixed get_hermes_home import (hermes_constants, not hermes_cli.config)
- Added skip decorators for tests requiring lark_oapi SDK
- All 16 integration points added surgically to current main
New dependency: lark-oapi>=1.5.3,<2 (optional, pip install hermes-agent[feishu])

Adds a config option to suppress the header/footer text that wraps
cron job responses when delivered to messaging platforms.
Set cron.wrap_response: false in config.yaml for clean output without
the 'Cronjob Response: <name>' header and 'The agent cannot see this
message' footer. Default is true (preserves current behavior).
Replace per-request aiohttp.ClientSession() in every WhatsApp adapter
method with a single persistent self._http_session, matching the pattern
used by Mattermost, HomeAssistant, and SMS adapters.
Changes:
- Create self._http_session in connect(), close in disconnect()
- All bridge HTTP calls (send, edit, send-media, typing, get_chat_info,
poll_messages) now use the shared session
- Explicitly cancel _poll_task on disconnect() instead of relying
solely on self._running = False
- Health-check sessions in connect() remain ephemeral (persistent
session not yet created at that point)
- Remove per-method ImportError guards for aiohttp (always available
when gateway runs via [messaging] extras)
Salvaged from PR #1851 by Himess. The _poll_task storage was already
on main from PR #3267; this adds the disconnect cancellation and the
persistent session.
Tests: 4 new tests for session close, already-closed skip, poll task
cancellation, and done-task skip.
Extends the single fallback_model mechanism into an ordered chain.
When the primary model fails, Hermes tries each fallback provider in
sequence until one succeeds or the chain is exhausted.
Config format (new):
fallback_providers:
- provider: openrouter
model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
- provider: openai
model: gpt-4o
Legacy single-dict fallback_model format still works unchanged.
Key fix vs original PR: the call sites in the retry loop now use
_fallback_index < len(_fallback_chain) instead of the old one-shot
_fallback_activated guard, so the chain actually advances through
all configured providers.
Changes:
- run_agent.py: _fallback_chain list + _fallback_index replaces
one-shot _fallback_model; _try_activate_fallback() advances
through chain; failed provider resolution skips to next entry;
call sites updated to allow chain advancement
- cli.py: reads fallback_providers with legacy fallback_model compat
- gateway/run.py: same
- hermes_cli/config.py: fallback_providers: [] in DEFAULT_CONFIG
- tests: 12 new chain tests + 6 existing test fixtures updated

The honcho check_fn only checked runtime session state, which isn't
set until the agent initializes. At banner time, honcho tools showed
as red/disabled even when properly configured.
Now checks configuration (enabled + api_key/base_url) as a fallback
when the session context isn't active yet. Fast path (session active)
unchanged; slow path (config check) only runs at banner time.
Adds 4 tests covering: session active, configured but no session,
not configured, and import failure graceful fallback.
Closes#1843.
When a connected MCP server sends a ToolListChangedNotification (per the
MCP spec), Hermes now automatically re-fetches the tool list, deregisters
removed tools, and registers new ones — without requiring a restart.
This enables MCP servers with dynamic toolsets (e.g. GitHub MCP with
GITHUB_DYNAMIC_TOOLSETS=1) to add/remove tools at runtime.
Changes:
- registry.py: add ToolRegistry.deregister() for nuke-and-repave refresh
- mcp_tool.py: extract _register_server_tools() from
_discover_and_register_server() as a shared helper for both initial
discovery and dynamic refresh
- mcp_tool.py: add _make_message_handler() and _refresh_tools() on
MCPServerTask, wired into all 3 ClientSession sites (stdio, new HTTP,
deprecated HTTP)
- Graceful degradation: silently falls back to static discovery when the
MCP SDK lacks notification types or message_handler support
- 8 new tests covering registration, refresh, handler dispatch, and
deregister

Home channel env vars (SLACK_HOME_CHANNEL, SIGNAL_HOME_CHANNEL, etc.)
for Slack, Signal, Mattermost, Matrix, Email, and SMS were nested
inside the credential-env blocks, so they were ignored when the
platform was already configured via config.yaml.
Moved the home channel handling outside the credential blocks with a
Platform.X in config.platforms guard, matching the existing pattern
for Telegram and Discord.

hermes mcp serve starts a stdio MCP server that lets any MCP client
(Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) interact with Hermes conversations.
Matches OpenClaw's 9-tool channel bridge surface:
Tools exposed:
- conversations_list: list active sessions across all platforms
- conversation_get: details on one conversation
- messages_read: read message history
- attachments_fetch: extract non-text content from messages
- events_poll: poll for new events since a cursor
- events_wait: long-poll / block until next event (near-real-time)
- messages_send: send to any platform via send_message_tool
- channels_list: browse available messaging targets
- permissions_list_open: list pending approval requests
- permissions_respond: allow/deny approvals
Architecture:
- EventBridge: background thread polls SessionDB for new messages,
maintains in-memory event queue with waiter support
- Reads sessions.json + SessionDB directly (no gateway dep for reads)
- Reuses send_message_tool for sending (same platform adapters)
- FastMCP server with stdio transport
- Zero new dependencies (uses existing mcp>=1.2.0 optional dep)
Files:
- mcp_serve.py: MCP server + EventBridge (~600 lines)
- hermes_cli/main.py: added serve sub-parser to hermes mcp
- hermes_cli/mcp_config.py: route serve action to run_mcp_server
- tests/test_mcp_serve.py: 53 tests
- docs: updated MCP page + CLI commands reference
SMTP connections in _send_email() and _send_email_with_attachment() leak
when login() or send_message() raises before quit() is reached. Both now
wrapped in try/finally with a close() fallback if quit() also fails.
IMAP connection in _fetch_new_messages() leaks when UID processing raises,
since logout() sits after the loop. Restructured with try/finally so
logout() runs unconditionally.

* feat: show estimated tool token context in hermes tools checklist
Adds a live token estimate indicator to the bottom of the interactive
tool configuration checklist (hermes tools / hermes setup). As users
toggle toolsets on/off, the total estimated context cost updates in
real time.
Implementation:
- tools/registry.py: Add get_schema() for check_fn-free schema access
- hermes_cli/curses_ui.py: Add optional status_fn callback to
curses_checklist — renders at bottom-right of terminal, stays fixed
while items scroll
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: Add _estimate_tool_tokens() using
tiktoken (cl100k_base, already installed) to count tokens in the
JSON-serialised OpenAI-format tool schemas. Results are cached
per-process. The status function deduplicates overlapping tools
(e.g. browser includes web_search) for accurate totals.
- 12 new tests covering estimation, caching, graceful degradation
when tiktoken is unavailable, status_fn wiring, deduplication,
and the numbered fallback display
* fix: use effective toolsets (includes plugins) for token estimation index mapping
The status_fn closure built ts_keys from CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS but the
checklist uses _get_effective_configurable_toolsets() which appends plugin
toolsets. With plugins present, the indices would mismatch, causing
IndexError when selecting a plugin toolset.
* fix(tools): implement send_message routing for Matrix, Mattermost, HomeAssistant, DingTalk
Matrix, Mattermost, HomeAssistant, and DingTalk were present in
platform_map but fell through to the "not yet implemented" else branch,
causing send_message tool calls to silently fail on these platforms.
Add four async sender functions:
- _send_mattermost: POST /api/v4/posts via Mattermost REST API
- _send_matrix: PUT /_matrix/client/v3/rooms/.../send via Matrix CS API
- _send_homeassistant: POST /api/services/notify/notify via HA REST API
- _send_dingtalk: POST to session webhook URL
Add routing in _send_to_platform() and 17 unit tests covering success,
HTTP errors, missing config, env var fallback, and Matrix txn_id uniqueness.
* fix: pass platform tokens explicitly to Mattermost/Matrix/HA senders
The original PR passed pconfig.extra to sender functions, but tokens
live at pconfig.token (not in extra). This caused the senders to always
fall through to env var lookup instead of using the gateway-resolved
token.
Changes:
- Mattermost/Matrix/HA: accept token as first arg, matching the
Telegram/Discord/Slack sender pattern
- DingTalk: add DINGTALK_WEBHOOK_URL env var fallback + docstring
explaining the session-webhook vs robot-webhook difference
- Tests updated for new signatures + new DingTalk env var test
